Unpopular take: Getting off the reserve alive is what makes an indigenous person a “survivor,” not having attended a residential school. Here’s why. You may want to bookmark this one. 1/10 🧵

In 1803, a British blacksmith named John Jewitt was taken captive by Chief Maquinna of the Mowachat people of Vancouver Island. He was asked to file the teeth of the Chief’s brother so the guy could bite off his wife’s nose for refusing to put out. Life before Canada. 🪶

You can read about the two years that Jewitt spent in captivity as a slave to Maquinna in his epic account here: gutenberg.org/files/38010/38… June is indigenous history month. Educate yourself about the progress we’ve made in Canada and the work still to come.

First contact on Canada’s West Coast was made by Captain James Cook who also encountered Chief Maquinna. Cook’s statue was dumped into Victoria’s inner harbour by a large mob of orange shirted activists on Canada Day in 2021, one month after the Kamloops false claim. The police spokesperson defended this as a show of patriotism and the city shrugged its shoulders, saying it was planning to get rid of it anyways. cbc.ca/lite/story/1.6088828

Worked with @AnthropicAI new "Fable" LLM today, its restrictive version of Mythos that made all the headlines Unfortunately Ai continues towards its destiny of dictating what is approved "knowledge", even if wrong. Data centres are not being built to free us, but control us

What is a woman? Neither the Federal Liberals or the BC NDP could answer.
🧬🤐 Watch the Liberals scramble to silence Canada’s Chief Science Advisor while she tries to answer what the definition of a woman is. They say they follow the science… until the science answers the question.

Here is a lovingly crafted vignette of Champlain. some Canadiana to finish off your week. edhird.com/2010/07/22/samuel… C/o @EdHird
Champlain is one of Canada’s great heroes. Explorer, cartographer, trader, diplomat, warrior, and visionary colonist, the father of New France deserves honour and respect.

They have erased Samuel de Champlain from Orillia, packing him up and chucking him into a storage facility to collect dust forever. In 1615, Champlain spent the winter nearby with the Hurons as part of his travels, making maps and establishing commercial relations. The hatred for this history, and for the people it means something to, is very potent. Those who traffic in it hold immense power. baytoday.ca/local-news/contr…

Phil Fontaiine ‘s allegations of widespread abuse shook the nation and led to the most consequential class action settlement in Canadian history. $5 billion in payouts and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which declared residential schools genocidal and recommended adoption of UNDRIP by all levels of government. But the claims of abuse by Fontaine and many others were never substantiated despite multiple intensive RCMP investigations. June is indigenous history month so here is a little history on Phil Fontaine and the origins of the residential school genocide narrative.
Jun 11
First Nations leaders and Residential School Survivors have fought for decades to bring national attention to the devastating impacts of Residential Schools and systemic injustices facing First Nations. Among those voices was Phil Fontaine, whose advocacy and leadership advanced a national conversation on healing, justice and reconciliation. He helped pave the way for the federal government’s formal apology for the Residential Schools on June 11, 2008. This National Indigenous History Month, we honour the leaders who transformed advocacy into action and commit to pushing for the full implementation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action. #NIHM2026 Photo by Fred Chartrand / The Canadian Press File Photo

Nina Green, an indefatigable residential schools researcher, examines Phil Fontaines’s allegations in this article and the two major RCMP investigations into residential school abuse. Drawing from his own court documents, green suggests that Fontaines’s claims of abuse may amount to nothing more than he and his classmates being required to take regular supervised showers. irsrg.ca/articles/did-two-le…

Fast Ferries seem kind of quaint, given the current NDP scandal of "whoops, we delegated the entire government to First Nations."

US law enforcement denied entry to this foreign national because of his ties to Al-Shabaab, a Somali terrorist organization. David Eby thinks that's "heartbreaking." BC's public safety should come before Eby's radical devotion to mass migration. No terrorists on Canadian Soil.
Premier Eby reacts to the “heartbreaking” story of a Somali World Cup referee who was refused entry into the United States: “In British Columbia he’d be considered gold, not garbage.”

Tamara Kronis, Conservative MP, is all for sterilizing kids as long as you call it ‘gender-affirming care.’ She’s the former director of advocacy for Egale Canada, Canada’s leading LGBTQ organization. Tamara helped defeat a resolution at the most recent CPC convention which called for trans-identified children to be allowed to receive therapy which would help them feel comfortable with their sex. She angrily took the mic and shouted down the very resolution which would help to stop CHILDREN from being sterilized! If you don’t believe me that kids are being sterilized, maybe listen to Daniel Metzger, pediatric endocrinologist at BC Children’s Hospital, or Marci Bowers, former President of WPATH. Metzger, the sociopath that he is, says “oh, the dog’s not doing it for you, is it?” when young people complain about being sterilized. Tamara Kronis, you are in the way of people like me who are fighting to stop this child abuse. Wake up, and get out of the way!
Coerced sterilization is not “health care.” It is violence, a brutal violation of a person’s body, dignity, future and family. Today, Canada recognized coerced sterilization as aggravated assault and passed Bill S-228 to amend the Criminal Code accordingly. For too long, survivors, especially Indigenous women and other vulnerable Canadians, were ignored, dismissed or left without clear justice. I am proud to support this bill. Some wrongs are so serious that Parliament must speak with one voice. Today, we did.

Last week, the NDP government released another of its countless “anti-racism” reports that further embeds their radical critical race theory into every corner of the public service. 🩺 Overworked, burned-out healthcare workers can now add hours of mandatory Indigenous-led “cultural safety” and anti-racism training to their duties, followed by post-training assessment to demonstrate their ideological adherence. 👨‍💼 The grossly-expanded public service, which is already not delivering for British Columbians, will now spend countless hours completing even more mandatory “Indigenous Crown Relations Essentials” to create “culturally safe workplaces.” 🏥 Our overstretched healthcare system will spend scarce dollars reviewing chronic disease programs “using an antiracism lens.” 💸 Further tax dollars will be spent applying “an inclusive and intersectional lens” to support “equitable access to outdoor recreation” and addressing “environmental racism,” as well as the “racial bias” of AI systems. It goes on… and on… and on. A $13.3 billion deficit, ER shut-downs & endless waitlists costing patients their lives, spending cuts for families of vulnerable autistic kids, and *still* the NDP find resources for their ideological pet projects. When we say we need to put an end to NDP activism and get back to common sense, this is what we mean.

It was indigenous elites who initiated the mass Graves hoax, egged on church burnings, and turned national grief into power and Profit. Journalists do ordinary indigenous people no favours by covering up for corrupt tribal politicians. Indigenous people deserve the truth too.
It is NOT TRUE, @HadleyFreeman, that "From the start, indigenous leaders were cautious about the claims children had been murdered at the schools". Journalists: Stop giving the neotribal elites a pass! They have been fomenting the #Kamloops215Deception for five years.

I'd settle for a good faith public conversation, @HarrisonLowman and @JesseBrown...
The the media class covered up the worst line, including history because it “felt true“ and now that they are exposed, they insist upon instant and complete absolution while continuing their bad faith attacks on the people who got it right from the start. @harrisonlowman you owe Frances an apology. You owe the nation and apology.

What is @HarrisonLowman talking about? Is he aware of my cancellation @ULethbridge in 2023, because faculty supported the #Kamloops215Deception? When I was denounced @UAlberta and @UofRegina in 2024 because I wanted to talk about threats to academic freedom? The billboards are a reaction to the fact that I was assaulted @UWinnipeg in September 2025 and had my Spectrum Street Epistemology mats stolen and vandalized. This occurred again at the @ULethbridge in 2026 - youtube.com/watch?v=S3sz4fuO…. This picture is from @thompsonriversu, where I had great conversations with students - x.com/NewWestTimes/status/19…. How is asking a simple and pertinent question "daring people to yell at [me]"? In terms of the "pendulum swinging", one of the reasons why there is now a much needed correction is because of the fact that I have reacted calmly and rationally to the destruction of our universities. These universities have promoted false claims about the residential schools and discouraged or prevented any discussion of them. Has @HarrisonLowman read my piece "Billy Remembers" - theamericanconservative.com/…, which came out three months before @TerryGlavin's "The Year of the Graves"? What about my scholarly piece on "residential school denialism" - wokeacademy.info/frances-wid… (an abridged version appears in "Dead Wrong", which Lowman dismisses). Is this measured response to @HarrisonLowman's condescending post "sic[ing my] online flying monkeys on [him]"?
"I think it went fantastic," said Dr. Frances Widdowson @FrancesWiddows1 of her visit to TRU in Kamloops on Nov 13th. "They tried to intimidate us and tell us to leave. And we said, we're not leaving." Widdowson discusses her rejection of the term "cultural genocide."
